Daniel Gunn, BACP

Daniel Gunn is a counsellor who works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain and sexual intimacy concerns. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, depression, addiction and the everyday effects of life change. Daniel writes and speaks plainly, and aims to help clients take practical steps that make a difference in daily life.

He brings nine years of experience across agency and private practice settings. Daniel holds a BSc in psychology from the Open University and a diploma in therapeutic counselling from CPCAB UK. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

Daniel uses a mix of therapeutic styles tailored to the person in front of him. He teaches breathing and grounding exercises early on, then works on deeper issues at a pace set by the client. This can include talking through relationship patterns, attachment wounds, or unhelpful coping habits.

His background growing up in West Africa and living in different cultures shapes how he listens. Daniel draws on life experience alongside clinical study to make sense of feelings, behaviour and the stories people tell about themselves.

Appointments begin with a short assessment to agree goals and the approach. He aims to help people reduce symptoms, strengthen everyday coping, and try new ways of living that feel more fulfilling.

Daniel works in English and German and accepts international clients. If you want to know more, follow the site's Start Therapy process to complete the matching questionnaire and book a session.

How Daniel's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting swept away by them and then commit to small actions that match their values. This can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes by shifting focus toward meaningful activity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating and regulating emotion. It is useful for intimacy issues and long-running relationship pain. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own pace and perspective, offering non-judgemental listening to help people feel heard and make decisions for themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will talk with clients about goals, needs and preferences and then choose or adapt methods together. That collaborative process helps match the therapy style to what actually helps the person in day-to-day life.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, travel or caregiving because they cut down on travel time and can be scheduled more flexibly. Others appreciate being able to use shorter check-ins or to choose a session style that suits their energy on a given day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises such as grounding, breathing and values-based work for remote sessions, making it possible to learn practical skills and try them out between appointments.
